I accidenatlly delete two files from win 98's c: drive and when I restarted the computer none of the operating systems would boot up. I managed to fix windows and I got that running, but I think that in doing so I must have reset the Master Boot Record because I can no longer get the prompt that asks me which operating system would I like to Boot up when the computer starts.

I tried using the linux boot disk (I tried using both the linux command and the resuce command) but nothing works. I think that this is happening because linux is no longer attched to the master boot record, basically it is not mounted.

You will need to boot linux from a boot disk. Then you will need to rerun LILO. I can not rember the command for mandraked since I am running RH 6.1 . But you can check out a how-to for lilo and this will tell you how to do it.
